Solar Assistant is what a lot of us are using.
Remote monitoring and control.

Does it use the wifi dingle as the data collection? Or?

Does it use the growatt wifi dongle for the data collection?

 

[timselectric]

No
It plugs into the USB port, where the dongle would.
Using the cable that came with the Growatt. (Printer type cable)

I find my Growatt Dashboard & Shine Phone App inaccurate when I compare to my smart meter & energy bill. This month my Growatt stated usage from the grid was 7.7kW but my energy supplier bill & smart metre said 89kW. Not sure if I have my inverter set up properly? Or do I need to have a shouting match (again!) with EON Energy?

I find the Growatt monitoring tools to be worthless outside of the 5min point-in-time usage graph. i'm implementing solar-assistant now, as well.
